Objective To investigate the clinical effect of linezolid on severe Gram-positive bacteria infection in chil-dren. Methods The retrospective analysis was performed in the clinical cases of severe Gram-positive bacteria infection which were insensitive to drugs selected from experience but sensitive to linezolid according to sputum culture and sensitivity test. Re-sults Twenty-four children with severe Gram-positive bacterial infections were treated with linezolid by intravenous infusion (10 mg/kg, q8h) for 10-14 days. All of them were markedly improved. Conclusions When drugs selected from experiences are ineffective, linezolid or in combination with other drugs is a good choice in the treatment of severe Gram-positive bacterial in-fections.

Objective To explore the effect of perioperative continuous use of aspirin on bleeding in laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer (RC) in patients taking low dose aspirin.Methods The prospective study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 96 RC patients taking low dose aspirin who were admitted to the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from September 2014 to September 2016 were collected.All the 96 patients were divided into the aspirin group (perioperative continuous use of aspirin) and non-aspirin group (discontinuation of aspirin at 7 days preoperatively and taking aspirin at 3 days postoperatively)by random number table.Laparoscopic anterior resection for RC was applied to patients by the same team of doctors.Observation indicators:(1) comparison of surgical and postoperative situations between the 2 groups;(2) follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the postoperative survival of patients up to January 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Comparisons between groups were evaluated with the t test.Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Fisher exact probability.Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the nonparametric test.Results All the 96 patients were enrolled into the study,including 50 in the aspirin group and 46 in the non-aspirin group.(1) Comparison of surgical and postoperative situations between the 2 groups:96patients underwent successful laparoscopic anterior resection for RC,including 1 with conversion to open surgery and 95 undergoing laparoscopic anterior resection for RC,without perioperative death,postoperative blood transfusion and rcoperation.Cases with conversion to open surgery,operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,decreasing value of postoperative hemoglobin (Hb),time to anal exsufflation,peritoneal drainage volume from 1-3 days postoperatively,cases with postoperative hematoehezia,cardio-cerebrovascular complications and overall complications (including postoperative hematochezia and cardio-cerebrovascular complications),duration of hospital stay,hospital expenses,cases in stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ of postoperative TNM stage,postoperative coagulation indexes of platelet,prothrombin time,international normalized ratio,prothrombin activity,activated partial thromboplastin time,thrombin time and fibrinogen were 0,(112± 18) minutes,(39± 18) mL,(4.3±2.8)g/L,(57±24)hours,(22±9)mL/d,6,0,10,(8.6±2.5)days,(6 739±481)yuan,11,35,4,(236±80) × 109/L,(12.7± 1.1) seconds,1.00±0.08,101％ ± 15％,(28 ±4) seconds,(15.5 ± 1.9) seconds,(3.2±1.0)g/L in the aspirin group and 1,(118±16)minutes,(38±22)mL,(3.5±3.0)g/L,(55±29)hours,(20±8)mL/d,4,1,8,(9.1±2.3)days,(6606±510)yuan,5,36,5,(211±49)×109/L,(12.5±0.7)seconds,1.00±0.06,103％±11％,(29±3)seconds,(15.3±1.7)seconds,(3.1±0.7)g/L in the non-aspirin group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-1.737,0.204,1.416,0.380,1.365,x2=0.038,0.107,t=-1.082,1.322,Z=-1.370,t=1.850,0.978,0.872,-0.712,-1.291,0.311,0.585,P＞0.05).Ten patients with postoperative hematochezia in the 2 groups were cured,without special treatment.One patient in the non-aspirin group was complicated with deep venous thrombosis and then was cured by single anticoagulant drug.Two and 2 patients in the aspirin group were respectively complicated with urinary retention and urinary tract infection.One,1 and 1 patients in the non-aspirin group were respectively complicated with inflammatory intestinal obstruction,urinary retention and urinary tract infection,and then were cured by conservative treatment.(2) Follow-up situations:of 96 patients,95 were followed-up for 4-27 months,with a median time of 13 months.During the follow-up,3 patients died and 92 had survival.Conclusion The perioperative continuous use of aspirin cannot increase risk of bleeding in laparoscopic anterior resection for RC in patients taking low dose aspirin.

Objective: To examine the dose-response association between cardiorespiratory fitness ( CRF ) and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Methods: A joint search was performed in Chinese and English electronic databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure ( CNKI ) , Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science, to retrieve publications reporting the correlation between CRF and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases until May, 2021. The pooled risk was estimated using the random effects model, and the dose-response association was evaluated using restricted cubic splines. The source of heterogeneity was assessed by subgroup analysis, and the stability of the results was tested by the trim-and-fill method, while the publication bias was assessed using funnel plots. Results: Totally 37 280 literatures were identified, and 23 eligible studies were finally included in the analysis, which covered 2 605 622 subjects. There were 22 publications identified as high-quality. Meta-analysis revealed that the pooled risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases reduced by 42% in the highest CRF group relative to the lowest CRF group ( OR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.52-0.65 ), and a one metabolic equivalent ( MET ) increase in CRF caused a 10% reduction in the pooled risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ( OR=0.90, 95%CI: 0.88-0.92 ). There was a negative linear correlation between CRF and the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ( P=0.396 ). Subgroup analysis identified gender, sample size and study regions as possible sources of heterogeneity, and sensitivity analysis showed that the study results were stable. Conclusions There is a negative linear correlation between CRF and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and an increase in CRF may reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical security and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with imatinib following lap-aroscopy-guided intersphincteric resection for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the low rectum (GSTLR). Methods:Clini-cal data of nine patients with GSTLR who were admitted to the Shengjing Hospital between January 2007 and January 2011 were re-viewed. These patients were treated with neoadjuvant imatinib chemotherapy after laparoscopic intersphincteric resection. Results:Pri-or to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the tumor diameter ranged between from 5 cm to 9 cm (median=7.0 cm). After imatinib chemothera-py, the tumor diameter decreased to 2-4.5 cm (median=3.5 cm, P<0.001). Laparoscopic surgery through intersphincteric resection was performed after imatinib treatment for 3-24 months (median=7 months). All patients received a protective stoma, which was closed 3 months after the surgery. The Wexner scale scores ranged from 1 and 4 (median=2) prior to neoadjuvant imatinib chemotherapy and changed to 1-5 (median=2) after the chemotherapy (P=0.397). After stomal closure operation, the scores significantly increased to 4-9 (median=7, P<0.001) but were not statistically significantly different from those before the therapy. One year after laparoscopic surgery, the Wexner scale scores ranged from 1 to 5 (median=2, P=0.842). Six patients were treated with imatinib for 24 and 30 months after lap-aroscopic surgery. Recurrence in pelvis occurred in only one patient, who ceased imatinib administration at the 30th month after the sur-gery. Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery through intersphincteric resection was secure and feasible and thus could be used for treat-ment of GSTLR.

Objective To explore the application value and clinical efficacy of the transanal specimen extraction via prolapsing approach in laparoscopic anterior resection for ultra-low rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with ultra-low rectal cancer who underwent transanal specimen extraction via prolapsing approach in laparoscopic anterior resection for ultra-low rectal cancer at the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from July 2010 to July 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.The average operation time, average volume of intraoperative blood loss, average number of lymph nodes dissection, average distance to resection margin, average length of resected specimen, results of postoperative pathological examination, time for postoperative outoff-bed activity, time to anal exsufflation, gastric tube removal time and postoperative complications were recorded.The visual analogue scale (VSA) pain score and Wexner score for evaluating fecal incontinence were performed at postoperative week 1 and at postoperative month 1, respectively.The anal function was tested at postoperative month 3 and 12.The follow-up including tumor metastasis and recurrence, Wexner score and anorectal anometry was performed by outpatient examination and telephone interview once every 3 months for 2 years after operation and then once every year up to October 2014.Measurement data with normal distribution was presented as-x ± s and average (range).Repeated measures data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Results All the patients received successful operations without procedure change or intraoperative accident.The average operating time, average volume of intraoperative blood loss, average number of lymph nodes dissection, average distance to distal resection margin and average length of resected specimen were 140 minutes (range, 115-173 mintues), 27 mL(range, 15-55 mL), 17(range, 14-20), 1.7 cm(range, 1.3-2.2 cm) and 18.5 cm(range, 14.7-22.4 cm), respectively.Postoperative TNM stages: T2N0M0 was detected in 19 patients, T2N1M0 in 3 patients,T3N0M0 in 4 patients and T3N1M0 in 1 patients.The time for postoperative out-off-bed activity and time to anal exsufflation were 8.8 hours (range, 7.0-13.0 hours) and 51 hours (range, 30-79 hours).Twenty-seven patients had the gastric tube removal after operation with fluid diet intake at postoperative hour 24 and semi-fluid diet intake at postoperative hour 48.One male patient was complicated with urinary retention at postoperative day 3 and 1 with anastomotic leakage at postoperative day 9, they were cured by symptomatic treatment.VSA pain scores in all patients from 1 day to 6 days postoperatively were 5.6, 4.6, 4.0, 3.2, 2.2 and 1.3.The average duration of hospital stay was 11.1 days (range, 7.0-19.0 days).Patients had good healing of abdominal incision at postoperative week 2.All the patients were followed up for a average time of 24.8 months (range, 15.0-32.0 months) without tumor metastasis and recurrence.Wexner score was 2.6 (range, 1.0-4.0) at postoperative month 1.The results of anorectal anometry: maximum anorectal resting pressure (MARP) and maximum anorectal systolic pressure were (267 ±23)mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) and (305 ± 23)mmHg before operation, (266 ± 40)mmHg and (300 ± 38)mmHg at postoperative month 3, (267 ± 33)mmHg and (315 ± 30)mmHg at postoperative month 12, respectively, with no significant difference in the changing trend between pre-and post-operation (F =0.510, 1.390, P ＞ 0.05).Anorectal resting vector volume and anorectal systolic vector volume were (45 594 ± 1 981) cm (mmHg) 2 and (98 480 ± 8 165) cm (mmHg) 2 before operation, (40 310 ±3 465)cm(mmHg)2 and (78 461 ±6 777)cm(mmHg)2 at postoperative month 3, (40 385 ± 3 379) cm(mmHg) 2 and (82 082 ± 10 383) cm(mmHg) 2 at postoperative month 12, respectively, with significant differences in the changing trend between pre-and post-operation (F =26.845, 48.090, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Transanal specimen extraction via prolapsing approach in laparoscopic anterior resection for ultra-low rectal cancer is safe, aesthetic and minimally invasive compared with the traditional laparoscopic surgery, with the advantages of radical cure of tumor and protection of anal function.

Objective To explore MSCT optimal examination time window for patients with occult rib fracture, and provide objective evidence for forensic injury. Methods Totally 105 cases with chest trauma were retrospectively analysed. They were examined in the first week after trauma and re-examined in different time windows by MSCT. The quantities of occult rib fractures in the first examination were compared to those in re-examinations. Results The quantities of occult rib fractures at different inspection time windows were mostly different. There was no statistically significant between the quantities of rib fractures in the first week and the second week, the first week and the sixth week later, the fourth week and the fifth to sixth weeks (P>0.05). There was statistically significant between the quantities of rib fractures in the first week and the thrid to sixth weeks, the second week and the third to sixth weeks, the third week and the fourth to sixth weeks (P<0.05). Conclusion The result of the study imply that the fourth to sixth week is the optimal time window of MSCT examination in the occult rib fracture.

Objective:To explore the significance of digital orthopedic technology in surgical plan for spinal tumor and the preliminary outcomes of 3D printed vertebral bodies in spinal tumor surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 2 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had had a 3D printed vertebral body implanted at Center of Orthopaedics, Shenzhen Hospital from June 2018 to December 2019. One was a 32-year-old male, diagnosed with cervical neurinoma; the other was a 27-year-old female, diagnosed with giant cell tumor of lumbar bone. 3D virtual reconstruction of tumor and surrounding structures was established via Mimics software for surgical plan. Virtual osteotomy was simulated, their disease models and guide templates were 3D printed, and their metal artificial vertebral bodies were 3D printed after personalized design of the vertebral body diameter, porosity and procedures of reconstruction and fixation. Lesion resection and prosthesis implantation were carried out in accordance with the preoperative plan. After operation, the motor function of cervical or lumbar vertebrae, tumor recurrence, and spinal stability reconstructed were regularly observed.Results:Resections and reconstructions went uneventfully in both cases. The 2 patients were followed up for 21 and 13 months respectively. Their postoperative images showed that their 3D printed vertebral bodies fitted the neighboring vertebral bodies well. The spinal stability was reconstructed without any loosening or periprosthetic osteolysis, and the tumors were removed completely with no recurrence in both cases. Their spinal motor function was satisfactory.Conclusions:Digital orthopedic technology can offer accurate guidance in the treatment of spinal tumors. It is necessary to consider local physiological anatomy in personalized design of a metal vertebral body 3D printed. Clinical application of 3D printed metal vertebral bodies is a new strategy for spinal reconstruction following spinal tumor resection.
